REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AREAS (RKA) The required knowledge areas represent what each pilot should know and understand prior to completion of training. These are divided into subject matter areas following the course curriculum and will assist with the study process. Although this list contains the most critical areas of concentration, it is only a basic guide and not intended to replace a comprehensive study of the course materials.

AIRCRAFT GENERAL 1. The height from the ground to the top of the tail is 15’ 5.5”. 2. The Caravan is equipped with a 24 volt lead acid or NiCad battery. 3. There are 22 total static wicks installed on the Caravan. 4. It is recommended that a GPU be used for engine starts when the ambient air temperature is below 0°C.

7. The dual purpose starter-generator acts as a motor during engine start and as a generator after starting. 8. A generator control unit provides for automatic starter cutoff at 46% Ng, voltage regulation, high voltage and reverse current protection. 9. The generator provides 28 volts of DC power to the aircraft electrical components.


16. Monitor total amperage supplied from the standby electrical system on the volt/ ammeter by placing the selector switch in the ALT position. 17. If annunciators are illuminated after shutdown, ensure standby power is OFF.

LIGHTING SYSTEMS 1. Because of the relatively short service life of the landing lights, it is recommended that the taxi/recog lights be used in the trafc patter or enroute. 2. In G600 equiped aircraft, rotating the DISPLAYS dimmer knob cockwise increases the intensity of the Garmin displays. Rotating it counterclockwise dims the displays. Rotating the knob fully counterclockwise (to the DAY position) causes the intensity to be set automatically in response to photocell sensors.

3. A green annunciator indicates a normal or safe condition and requires no corrective action. 4. The Low Airspeed Awareness annunciator ashes and the stall horn activates below 110kts with the prop heat in AUTO mode (boots) or with the pitot heat ON (TKS). 5. Activating the LAMP TEST switch should illuminate all annunciators and activate both fuel-selector-off warning horns. 6. The stall horn activates 5-10kts prior to stall.

FUEL 1. Fuel ows by gravity from the shutoff valves in each tank to the fuel reservoir. 2. The reservoir maintains a supply of fuel


8. The RESERVOIR FUEL LOW annunciator illuminates when the reservoir drops to approximately half full which is enough fuel for 90 seconds of engine operation at max continuous power. 9. The amber FUEL PRESS LOW annunciator illuminates when low pressure is detected in the fuel system indicating a possible blockage, ejector pump failure or leak. 10. The reproof drain-can must be emptied once a day or every six engine shutdowns.

POWERPLANT 1. The Caravan is powered by a PT6A-114A engine rated at 675 shp. 2. The accessory gearbox, located on the rear of the engine, contains an integral oil

6. The inertial separator should remain in the BYPASS position after an icing encounter until after landing, shutdown and inspection (TKS). 7. The amber CHIP DETECTOR annunciator illuminates when metal chips are present in either one or both chip detectors. 8. The propeller reversing linkage can be damaged if the power lever is moved aft of the IDLE position when the propeller is feathered. 9. The emergency power lever allows the pilot to restore power in the event of a pneumatic failure in the fuel control unit. Evidence of this failure is an uncommanded power reduction to idle (approximately 48% Ng). 10. Operation of the emergency power lever


FIRE PROTECTION/FIRE WARNING SYSTEM

c. Windshield anti-ice panel

1. The engine re detection system consists of a exible closed loop heat sensor. If an over temperature situation occurs, a change in resistance is created which lights the ENGINE FIRE annunciator and sounds the re bell.

e. Standby electrical system

2. A successful test of the re-detection cir cuitry using the FIRE DETECT TEST button is indicated by the illumination of the ENGINE FIRE annunciator and sounding of the re bell. 3. The CABIN HEAT FIREWALL SHUTOFF knob located on the lower right side of the pedestal actuates two rewall shutoff valves which provide protection to the occupants in the event of an engine re.

d. Pitot heat f. Inertial separator g. Stall heat h. Low airspeed awareness system 2. The following items must be installed and operational in order to y into known or forecast icing in an aircraft equipped with TKS: a. Leading edge porous panels on the wing, wing strut, horizontal & vertical stabilizer b. Prop slinger c. Windshield spray bar d. Alternate static source e. Pitot heat


5. If the prop heat fails in the AUTO position, the MANUAL position can be used while exiting icing. Do not hold the switch in the MANUAL position for more than 90 seconds to prevent run-back icing on the unprotected part of the prop. 6. The sight glass on the TKS tank is the only approved method for verifying the uid level is at or above the minimum dispatch level of 11.7 gallons. 7. In boot equipped aircraft, the Low Airspeed Awareness system is active any time the prop heat is in the AUTO position. The system alerts the pilot via an annunciator and horn anytime the speed falls below 110 knots. 8. In TKS equipped aircraft, the Low Airspeed Awareness system is active any time the pitot heat is ON. The system alerts the

12. Do not run the windshield pump continuously for more than 10 seconds, and allow at least 10 seconds between operations.

AIR CONDITIONING 1. The minimum Ng for air conditioning operation while on the ground is 54%. 2. Under extremely hot OAT or high elevation conditions, the ITT may exceed 685° C at idle with the air conditioning ON. Advance the condition lever toward HIGH IDLE to maintain ITT within limits. 3. Operation of the air conditioning may cause compass deviation of more than 10°. 4. For cabin heat, use the ON position of the BLEED AIR HEAT switch and turn the TEMP selector knob fully clockwise.


4. The following are symptoms of impending brake failure: a. Gradual decrease in braking action after brake application b. Noise or dragging brakes c. Soft or spongy pedals d. Excessive travel and weak braking action

and an electrically powered HSI. The co-pilot’s side attitude indicator is electrically powered and the DG is vacuum driven. 4. G600 equipped aircraft have an electrically powered standby attitude indicator. 5. G600 equipped aircraft have one ADC which provides data for airspeed, altimeter and VSI.

FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEMS 1. The crew can disengage the autopilot by one of three ways: a. Pressing the AP button on the autopilot ight control system (AFCS) panel. b. Pressing the AP TRIM DISC switch on the control yoke c. Commanding pitch trim 2. Rudder locks must be disengaged prior

6. G600 equipped aircraft have 2 AHRS units which combines the functions of an attitude gyro, directional gyro and turnand-slip instrument.
